“There are a number of drivers who sense a bit fed up with the whole situation and it only seems to be going, to a degree, in the wrong honestion.
“All the drivers, we sense pretty aenjoy, we understand what we want from the sport and the honestions it has been heading and we sense we want a petite U-turn on a number of topics and we want to labor together with the FIA on this and we felt that has not been happening at all from the plivent.”
He grasped: “Getting skinnygs to alter or promises upheld seems sairyly more challenging. Maybe the FIA or the plivent did not recognise how solemnly we all felt. Over the course of 20 races this year and even last year we spoke about a number of topics.”
